Type Battle 27 // Draw Typophile a new logo

Draw us a new logo! Yes, that is right. Typophile is ready to move past the pixel-T, and especially the pixel-7. We are looking for not just one amazing drawing, rather a large handful that can be rotated on the red square and potentially used in other Typophile promotional materials. What better way to show off the talents in this community, than to display them proudly in our mark?

Examples of previous logos:

// REQUIREMENTS

- Draw only the letter T -- it can be uppercase or lowercase.
- How you draw it is up to you (vector tools or ink), just as long as the file is submitted in the proper format.
- By participating, you pledge that the work is of your own design.
- Do not use any fonts or other rights-protected imagery (unless you own the rights to the design).

Judging // Punchcut will judge the entries, keeping in mind the popularity of the entries in the thread.

Copyright Retention // Participants (those who submit entries to Typophile) grant Typophile permission to use the artwork/design for promotional use, as we see fit, and for applications not limited to the website. Participants retain copyrights and Typophile agrees not to sell or transfer our usage rights. (In other words, we don’t require exclusive rights, just unlimited usage.)

This one is based on the fact that if you take two 1:2 rectangular bites out of a square at the bottom left and right, you will get "the perfect T" in lots of different weights depending on how big the 1:2 rectangle was relative to the original square.

I started messing around with the thickness of the stroke of the T's based on the Fibonnacci series since I did a bit of research into how much bolder a bold needs to be to work well with a regular weight. The answer on that occasion was about φ (1.6ish) or Φ + 1 (where Φ = Golden Section).

The first few numbers in the Fibonnacci series are 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.

Hi, I am a bit disappointed I have not seen any submissions that have made me say... wow!!.

Also I thought it was only to be the letter T, I see more than T in the submissions
see here as in the first post:

"- Draw only the letter T — it can be uppercase or lowercase.
- How you draw it is up to you (vector tools or ink), just as long as the file is submitted in the proper format.
- By participating, you pledge that the work is of your own design.
- Do not use any fonts or other rights-protected imagery (unless you own the rights to the design).

Nick's throbbing T is working for me, but I've got a few observations about the throbbing to toss out there...

I don't mind if it keeps throbbing, and I don't like the 2 or 3 beats with the long pause in between. I think the problem with the steady throb is that it's not throblike enough. It goes like this: thump thump thump thump thump thump thump et peter cetera. A real throb goes like this: thump thump. thump thump. thump thump. thump thump. Got it?
